SISTER & BROTHER !

IF U R LOOKING FOR ME, I'M ON MY ISRAELI BLOG! :O))

HI & SHALOM EVERYONE !

When i was going thru the photos

and i saw this one, i knew right away

how the LO is going to look like ! :o))

The background paper is My Mind's Eye

life stories "Frequency Grid"paper.

The second layer is Bazil's white cardstock

which i distressed by hand and with some

distress ink (tea dye).

The 3rd layer is a jute sack that my boys

brought me from their grandpa's warehouse.

I cut it to the right size and unraveled some fringes all around.

The photo matting is mad of three layers.

The white one is an architect's thick parchment ,

which i distressed with a ruler.

The other two layers are from a take away 

brown bag, that were also torn with a ruler

and distressed with the same ink.

At the left corner i add a wooden element 

and left it in its natural color.

The letters "S" for sister and "B" for brother

are Tim Holtz's "GRUNGEBOARD".

I colored them with GESSO and acrylic paint.

I stamped the letters on them to complete  the words

"sister & brother" and finally put some  diamond glazed.

The gorgeous flowers are hand made, 

and i learned to make them from a super talented friend

ANAT - go and check her tutorial on her blog !

The two white flowers are made of white baking paper

distressed with a "tea dye" ink,

but the greenish one is made of brown silk paper 

which i found in a shoe  box, and distressed with a green ink.

I just fell in love with these flowers :o))!!

GREEN SWAP !

HI & SHALOM EVERYONE !

רשומה בעברית בבלוג בתפוז.

I took part in a color swap. Each one of the participant

had to announce her preferred color. The swap was
a circle one, and the only thing i knew was to whom
i'm sending the swap and what is the desired color .
Since i made a swap before with the same girl,
and made her a sunglasses case, i've decided to complete
 her a set,  by using the same fabric.
I made a key cosy, in a shape of a house.

and since every decent house needs some $$$$$
i made her, a mini purse, from the same fabric of course :o)) !

And now to the scrappy part of this post,
THE CARD !! I made a "never ending card" which i learned
from my dearest friend Anat the "crafty fairy".
